Custom Cuties

Wow, It's been a shamefully long time since I posted. There's been a lot going on but I guess the most significant thing I have to report is that I have taken my custom Middie Minaj Middie Blythe off of the market.

I know it's not the best move from a business stand point but I'm afraid that during the time she spent in her box and modelling the Middie hats I made for Little Brown Blythe, I kind of grew attached to her and I adore to little pieces now! And I've been wanting a Middie so i just thought what the heck, I'll keep the one I have in LBL inventory. This doesn't mean I won't make another custom Blythe. I absolutely will. In fact I look forward to customizing another Middie.

I have changed Middie Minaj's name to Mimi and am now in search of cute Middie outfits for her. I'm particularly concerned about getting her some shoes. But I hear Kelly Doll shoes fit her so I'll be looking into getting a few pairs this week.

Mimi is just such a dear sweet thing and so portable. She's traveling in my bag right now and she's curious about everything.

Primary Flocker by Luxielou for Melly Kay

In other news, I have been ooohing and ahhing and squesaling over Luxilou's petite flockers for weeks now and it's finally time to get one of my girls flocked. I'm sending Martia (pronounced Marsha) a special little custom Black Petite girl I made to Luxielou this week.

Martia Martia Martia!

I cannot wait for her to get started! I so love to watch the process of these little petite girls transformed into virtual pieces of fuzzy cuteness! I think I may need two!

Fave Photo of the Day

Domingo - Sunday, a photo by _fumiko_ on Flickr.

I haven't had one of these in a while but I just adore Fumiko's photos and this one just kind of got me in the heart. I think it reminds me of what a bookworm I used to be. This is my idea of a great Sunday.

Mosieur Z Girl Looking to Travel

Monsieur Z "Jungle Fever"

I absolutely love this doll but that being said, I think that our time together has come to an end. As much as I love ,my collection of Fashion Royalty and Integrity dolls, I really don't want more than I need and what I love about this hobby in general is that when you really care about your collection and treat your dollies well you always have the option to send them off and share their beauty with others.

Zoya, who is a Monzieur Z Integrity Doll is looking to travel and is now listed on ebay. She's in great condition and a lovely addition to any doll collection. Check her out in the link below if your interested!

Pom Poms Up!

SHISH BOOM BA!!

Pom Pom Night

Sooo, like I said, I really have loved learning to make pom poms and as a result I have just made five hats in a row tonight. The fifth one is not shown here and in fact you're only seeing the four pom pom tops in the one photo that features all four. I will take clearer photos tomorrow when I update the shop.

They're all so fluffy and fruity looking! I love them all!

POM-ON!

I've been working on a special project recently with a customizer I really love and it has inspired me to start making more dolly hats with pom poms which I think are some the cutest little hat accents ever. There's a skill to this though, that I hadn't realized until I watched a few Crochet Geek tutorials on youtube this week.

God Bless Crochet Geek. I think I have learned about 85% of all I know from them. Pom poms are really fun and easy to make. I made this green hat seen above on Journey last night. I plan on doing a few more for "Little Brown Blythe" this weekend. I will post an update here when they're up.
